About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today we're talking with Dr. Jane Smith, an expert in physical education policy and the instructor for the new Certified Specialist Programme in Intersectional Physical Education Policy. Dr. Smith, can you tell us about your personal experiences that led you to focus on this area? GUEST: Absolutely! As a former physical education teacher, I noticed disparities in participation and achievement among my students. This sparked my interest in understanding and addressing the systemic issues at play. HOST: That's fascinating. Now, let's discuss current industry trends. What are some key areas of focus in physical education policy today? GUEST: There's a growing emphasis on intersectionality, critical pedagogy, and creating inclusive curriculums. These approaches help ensure that all students have positive physical literacy experiences, regardless of their backgrounds. HOST: Challenges certainly arise when implementing these changes. Can you share some common obstacles you've encountered or observed in this field? GUEST: One major challenge is the lack of professional development opportunities for educators, policymakers, and administrators. This programme aims to bridge that gap by providing practical skills and certification. HOST: That's a great initiative. Now, looking forward, what do you envision for the future of physical education policy? GUEST: I believe we'll see increased adoption of inclusive and equitable practices, ultimately leading to more diverse and thriving physical activity environments for everyone. HOST: Dr. Smith, thank you for sharing your insights and discussing the Certified Specialist Programme in Intersectional Physical Education Policy. We're excited to see the impact this course will have on the industry. GUEST: Thank you for having me. I'm looking forward to seeing the positive change this programme will bring to physical education.
